A bacterial strain, designated MSd3T, was isolated from a freshwater sample collected from the Hosoda River in Japan. The cells of strain MSd3T were Gram-stain-negative, non-spore-forming, aerobic, non-motile, curved rods forming rings, coils and undulating filaments. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain MSd3T showed closest similarity to that of Spirosoma linguale DSM 74T (97.6 % similarity) and similarity to other members of the genus Spirosoma ranged from 90.3 to 95.9 %. Strain MSd3T contained menaquinone 7 as the sole respiratory quinone. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16 : 1ω6c and/or C16 : 1ω7c) and C16 : 1ω5c. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, three unidentified aminophospholipids and three unidentified polar lipids. The DNA G+C content was 53.3 mol%. The DNA–DNA relatedness between strain MSd3T and S. linguale DSM 74T was 19 % or 25 % (reciprocal value). From the chemotaxonomic and physiological data and the levels of DNA–DNA relatedness, strain MSd3T should be classified as the representative of a novel species of the genus Spirosoma, for which the name Spirosoma fluviale sp. nov. (type strain MSd3T = JCM 30659T = DSM 29961T) is proposed.

Two strains (J3-AN59T and J3-N84) of Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and rod-shaped bacteria were isolated from the roots of fresh rice plants. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity results showed that the similarity between strains J3-AN59T and J3-N84 was 100 %. Both strains were phylogenetically related to members of the genus Rhizobium , and they were most closely related to Rhizobium tarimense ACCC 06128T (97.43 %). Similarities in the sequences of housekeeping genes between strains J3-AN59T and J3-N84 and those of recognized species of the genus Rhizobium were less than 90 %. The polar lipid profiles of both strains were predominantly composed of phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine and an unknown aminophospholipid. The major cellular fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c and/or C18 : 1ω6c) and C16 : 0. The DNA G+C contents of J3-AN59T and J3-N84 were 55.7 and 57.1 mol%, respectively. The DNA–DNA relatedness value between J3-AN59T and J3-N84 was 89 %, and strain J3-AN59T showed 9 % DNA–DNA relatedness to R. tarimense ACCC 06128T, the most closely related strain. Based on this evidence, we found that J3-AN59T and J3-N84 represent a novel species in the genus Rhizobium and we propose the name Rhizobium rhizoryzae sp. nov. The type strain is J3-AN59T ( = ACCC 05916T = KCTC 23652T).

Strain 43PT was isolated as an l-glucose-utilizing bacterium from soil in Japan. Cells of the strain were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic and non-motile cocci. The 16S rRNA gene sequence of the strain showed high similarity to that of Paracoccus limosus (98.5 %). Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that this strain belongs to the genus Paracoccus. Strain 43PT contained Q-10 as the sole isoprenoid quinone. The major cellular fatty acids were C18 : 1ω7c or C18 : 1ω6c and C16 : 0, and C18 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c, C10 : 0 3-OH and summed feature 2 were detected as minor components. The DNA G+C content of strain 43PT was 64.1 mol%. Strain 43PT contained the major polar lipids phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol, an unknown aminolipid and two unknown glycolipids. The DNA–DNA relatedness between strain 43PT and the six related type strains of the genus Paracoccus, including P. limosus, was below 23 %. Based on the chemotaxonomic and physiological data and the values of DNA–DNA relatedness, especially the ability to assimilate l-glucose, this strain should be classified as a representative of a novel species of the genus Paracoccus, for which the name Paracoccus laeviglucosivorans sp. nov. (type strain 43PT = JCM 30587T = DSM 100094T) is proposed.

Abstract A Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped and motile bacterium, named LAMW06T, was isolated from greenhouse soil in Beijing, China. In the 16S rRNA gene sequence comparison, strain LAMW06T had the highest similarity with Pseudomonas cuatrocienegasensis 1NT was 97.4%. Phylogenetic analysis base on the 16S rRNA and three housekeeping gene sequences (gyrB, rpoB and rpoD) indicated that LAMW06T represented a member of the genus Pseudomonas. The genome sequence size of the isolate was 5.5 Mb, with the DNA G+C content of 63.5 mol%. The average nucleotide identity and DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain LAMW06T and closely related members of Pseudomonas borbori R-20821T, Pseudomonas taeanensis MS-3T and Pseudomonas cuatrocienegasensis 1NT were 90.9%, 82.4%, 81.5 % and 43.0%, 25.9%, 24.6 % respectively. The major fatty acids contained summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω6c and/or C16:1 ω7c), C18:1 ω7c and C16:0. The primary respiratory quinone was ubiquinone-9. The main polar lipids were diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, six aminophospholipids, six phospholipids, one aminolipid and one glycolipid. According to the genotypic, phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic data, strain LAMW06T represents a novel species within the genus Pseudomonas, for which the name Pseudomonas tumuqiensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is LAMW06T (=GDMCC 1.2003T =KCTC 72829T).

A Gram-negative, motile, non-spore-forming bacterial strain, designated HU1-GD12T, was isolated from freshwater sediment. The strain was characterized by using a polyphasic approach in order to determine its taxonomic position. Comparative analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the isolate constituted a distinct branch within the genus Sphingobium, showing the highest level of sequence similarity with respect to Sphingobium ummariense RL-3T (96.2 %). Strain HU1-GD12T had a genomic DNA G+C content of 66.8 mol% and Q-10 as the predominant respiratory quinone. Furthermore, the major polyamine component (spermidine) in the cytoplasm and the presence of sphingoglycolipids suggested that strain HU1-GD12T belonged to the family Sphingomonadaceae. On the basis of its phenotypic properties and phylogenetic distinctiveness, strain HU1-GD12T represents a novel species of the genus Sphingobium, for which the name Sphingobium vulgare sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is HU1-GD12T (=LMG 24321T=KCTC 22289T).

A novel bacterial strain, designated M2T2B15T, was isolated from fermented bovine products and was characterized by using a polyphasic approach. Colonies were reddish pink and circular with entire margins. Cells were strictly aerobic, Gram-reaction-negative, oxidase- and catalase-positive rods that lacked flagella and were motile by gliding. Flexirubin-type pigments were absent. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain M2T2B15T was related most closely to Larkinella insperata LMG 22510T (94.4 % similarity) but shared <87 % similarity with other members of the phylum Bacteroidetes. The major cellular fatty acids were C16 : 1 ω5c, iso-C15 : 0 and iso-C17 : 0 3-OH. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, two unidentified aminophospholipids and two unidentified polar lipids. Menaquinone 7 (MK-7) was the major respiratory quinone. The G+C content of the DNA of strain M2T2B15T was 52 mol%. The phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic data presented clearly indicate that strain M2T2B15T represents a novel species of the genus Larkinella, for which the name Larkinella bovis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is M2T2B15T (=KACC 14040T =NBRC 106324T). Emended descriptions of the genus Larkinella and of Larkinella insperata Vancanneyt et al. 2006 are also proposed.
